wheels: 16x7.5 with wide offset(cannot remember at the moment)

tires: Potenza RE730 225/50/16 upgrading to a new set of tread, A520 or Kumho Ecsta MX if released soon
(unwilling to spend money on race tires/wheelset for now)

struts: tokico blue nonadjustable(wish I had illumina)

springs: tokico 1.5 inch drop

swaybars: front and rear suspension techniques(front is adjustable)

tie bars: suspension techniques 2gnt front upper, topspeed racing rear upper and rear lower, RRE front lower

camber kit: RRE rear(spacers and bolt kit)

I think the most noticeable improvement to a stock suspension is swaybars....and I am not talking factory.


Basically I have a budget suspension that has worked well on the streets and has performed very well for me on the autocross track

Out of 9 points events I attended last year, I received 5 first place and 2 second place finishes in SCCA Arkansas Region 77(STS class).

Do not forget the brakes when upgrading your suspension.

I did a local SCCA driving school two days ago and ran my first event this year in Street Modified. It was pouring down rain the whole day and it was not a good event to compare cars/drivers. Everyone kind of made it a play day with concentrating on smoothness and picking different lines. The stock cars even did better than street prepared and prepared due to the large volume of water on the course.

good luck
